We enjoyed another very good musical program! Our May program featured the "Resounding Joy" ensemble from Dayton Christian High School. The group is led by Tracy Miller. Before the program, they spent time going through some of their school material. I thought that was a great way to take care of a bit of their downtime and accomplish their school objectives.
There were 10 students with us but I think there are more. Some were were busy with their other end of the school year material and couldn't be with us.

After their arrival they did the set up of their sound equipment, did some school work; then had a bit of warm-up practice time prior to "suiting up" for our performance. I took this shot as they were doing their warm-up for a couple of songs they used with us for the first time. That was pretty nice of them to do something special just for us.
Today, our prelude time was a Piano and Organ Duet by Grace Averitt and Nancy Jensen. Listen to that one here:
After I did the early part of our program with Welcome, Groaner Jokes, introducing Birthdays and Anniversaries plus our upcoming Day Trips, I introduced Tracy and the students, now all decked out in their finest performance clothes.
Wow, what a transformation! They look stunning in their red formal dresses and black suits. Of course, they sounded just as good as they looked.
They sang and introduced themselves and told what churches they attended. This year there were none of them from our church but there was one student from our Daughter Church, Clearcreek Chapel. There was also a grandson of out members.
They also shared a few solo pieces along with the entire group as background.

I received lots of praise for the group, so I will have to tell Tracy to give everyone an "A" for the day!

After the program, we all retired to the dining area to enjoy a very nice meal of Salad and Enchilada followed by an ice cream and cookie sundae!
Be sure to thank Lisa Poe and all of the kitchen and dining room staff for their cooking and serving. We are truly blessed with a fine and talented group of volunteers!
Next month, we will hear from another musical group, "Glorious Day"!
